  A multi-play just for fun CC comp.  Had it been a RG I would have been struggling to see the funny side of it.  Yes I did exit out and come back in having cleared everything.  The browser was Comodo Dragon, and no I never tried another one - had it been a RG I might have.

  Happened a couple of times since the last update, never before to me.

  I find it happens a pretty good bit mate depending on course. Kia is known for that.. even a couple of short shots under 50 yards will only have one view.

  I find now after update is shows camera at bottom.... but does not work.

  Yup... line up smack and hope. All can do mate.  Good luck...   :)

  Also whatever they did fixed the space bar problem also... maybe.. never know something might have got compromised.

  Edit: Yesterday though i did get a good one. Pull a shot slightly on Beth #8 par 3. Ball landed just off the left edge of the green.

  My dude was pointing backward... had no aim box and meter was like greyed out. Tried to send bug report... but that was broke lol.

  I've been in that exact same spot many times and never seen that before. Who knows?

  Off topic but perhaps serves to show what I said elsewhere about learning the spin with these irons.  That shot above I find plays 190 yards.  11 MPH headwind well you can either say add 4% (10MPH) so 197 yards; add 6 % for 12 MPH as way down so lots resistance and treat as 201 yards or convert to decimal 1.90 x 4.5 = 8.55 so call it 198 / 199.  I pulled out my 5 iron which I have rated at 201 just a touch of spin, and I added a good touch LOL, and that far past.  OK no big one and noted for next time, but perhaps shows what I mean about learning some holes with these irons again playing the spin as I do.  Next time I know just to add a touch of spin and do rest with distance...The R11s the shot I played I am confident would have worked a bit better mostly...Like I say no big one but just a point if looking at these irons...Line was straight as and the distance generally very consistent but distance needs to be learned again at several holes that's all I am saying.............EDIT: I get it that a 5 iron is lower trajectory but it's a shot I had down with the R11s that head wind that's all...Like I say no big one just (in my experience) understand there is a learning curve switching these irons.  All good as consistent once learned...

  EDIT: Back on topic:).....Thinking about it yes have had it a couple of times before but like as in a very very few, and since the update it's been noticeably more.  Now maybe just sheer coincidence but thought worth pointing out like this so at least WGT can get their man on it.  That really good programmer that can fix bugs..ya know the one that fixed that ultra fast XP easter egg glitch, and in fairness made the virtual notebook useable.  Latter still needs a general notes section IMO but now it's 500 credits worth I guess.  With he or she there proving that bugs can be fixed all sorts gonna be fixed soon:)

  Hmmm...... is that the front pin Jim??  If so i play that hole at 180 yard even zero spin.

  With a 11 mph head wind..... would have played my 180 yard R11 with half top spin...... money. Soo... that being said i play that shot at about 184 yards give or take.

  Any much stronger wind though... i'd be choking a no spinner.

  Yes front pin.

  You play a way different ball to me rmbr Gerald.  L81 ball neutral wind that's a 6 iron dash spin (so played 190 with that as a combo with the R11s) every time.  Now I am using the L61 ball so accept some of it that, but had that in mind with the shot having sometimes used the L61 ball with them to. EDIT: Like I say all good as consistent just a little learning curve, no issues with that side of it.

  Yes very true Jim. Yes you know the routine..... like you said some holes play a lil different. Unless you just got a random wtf. Got a couple earlier.... happens.

  I wanted to follow up

   

  Jim, was your notebook open? If so, can you try not opening and see if switch view works? I am thinking it may, so it would be a notebook issue not the camera issue. If that's the case, then we'll try to fix that.

  I can say that one Andy posted at Congo I have had the very same in the past.  

  I have never had the issue before at the hole I posted about, and as I have seen it a few times recently thought I would raise it.  Can't say I could point to any selected holes (apart from obviously that putt at Congo as stated).

  Thanks for the response.
